The Joint Service Transcript is a joint military service transcript showing ACE credit recommendations for the Army, Coast Guard, Navy, and Marines. For the Coast Guard, the JST is available for active duty, reserve, civilian, spouses of active duty, and Auxiliary members. Spouses and Auxiliary members will have to request access through the Registrar’s Office (RO) to be added to the system.

Once you log into the JST, you will be able to view your educational record. It is your opportunity to ensure it lists what you have accomplished in the military.
